Main Requirements

Recommended Strings

A Durable String

For players who break strings frequently. They also prefer a low to medium price.

The best choice is Kirschbaum P2 which has good performance and durability. There is low loss of tension, and this string is available in a choice of gauges. You could also consider the more expensive Kirschbaum Competition.

Durable Performance

This category is for players who have tried strings in the Durable category, and now want a product with improved performance.

The recommended string is Kirschbaum Touch Turbo as it does have better performance. You can select the most suitable gauge to provide you with performance or durability, depending on your requirements. This string is also suitable for players who do not normally break strings.

Traditional

This type is for players who do not break strings often, and are satisfied with a string similar to those supplied with their racket.

The recommended strings, in this group, are the Kirschbaum Touch range of strings. The choice would be between the Touch Classic, Titanium or Multi-Fibre. These strings are more expensive, but should be suitable for players who prefer this type of string.
